That intercooler is the exact same size as ours, exact same core.
By leaving the ic spaced out from the radiator the airflow is not going to be optimized through the ic and the engine fan is going to be pulling air from between the ic and radiator giving you poor airflow through the ic whilst stationary from the engine fan, not really an issue with a drag car but will be an issue on the street.
This is the exact reason we relocate the 335 cooler even though you dont have to.

It fit in by just cutting the plastic behind the bumper.
There was no power steering or anything else that needed to be relocated.
Just had to cut the end tanks of angle them in the right direction.

The curve looks like an ST N54, so I can see what he means. Traction shouldn't be that bad because it's not such a dramatic hit down low.
It's a gradual torque curve, much easier on the engine and better for traction.

Here is a BMW E92 335xi that is running very well. This is an automatic and all wheel drive example on the stock transmission and stock internal N54 motor. Obviously the Precision 6266 single turbo conversion is providing the grunt.
Mod list:
- Precision Gen 1 journal 6266
- On3 manifold
- 7" FMIC
- 2.5" charge pipe
- Catless downpipes
- 44mm wastegate
- 50mm BOV
- Teflon E85 rated fuel lines
- Motiv flex fuel
- Stage 2 LPFP
- GFP G-force boost controller
- XHP Stage 3 AT TCU flash
- BMS AT transmission cooler
This 335xi is performing well on the highway with performance that is roughly just ahead of a stock BMW F90 M5. If BimmerBoost were to guess, it looks like a 126 trap car.
Speaking of which, it runs a stock F90 M5 twice. The first run is very close but in the second run the 335xi opens up a lead after it had its fuel pump replaced.
Next up is a C6 Corvette Z06 with unknown mods which opens a lead only for the 335xi to easily pass it.
An F13 M6 with a tune is next. The M6 pulls up top.
A W204 C63 AMG Black Series with unknown mods tries its luck. The C63 AMG is easily dispatched.
The final cars are a pair of Infiniti Q50's. The first of which is an ECUtek FBO tuned example which gets a jump. The 335xi catches and passes.
The second Q50 is a JB4 tuned example that is beaten fairly easily.
The final run is a three-way but poor editing gets in the way of seeing how it plays out.
Nice runs and a 335xi that performs quite well.

Earlier this year we saw a McLaren 720S with the Pure Turbos M840T hybrid turbo upgrade producing 936 rear wheel horsepower on race gas. Well, it is now joined by yet another McLaren 720S with the same turbo upgrade producing over 900 wheel horsepower.
932 to the rear wheels to be exact:
The 720S is still on the stock internals and stock transmission. Not only is this a ton of power for hybrid turbos it points to built motor McLaren 720S motors with aftermarket turbo housings likely easily going well into the 1XXX horsepower range.
The M840T is simply an incredible platform.

The BMW N63/S63 twin turbo 4.4 liter V8 engine architecture is going to start making some big, big horsepower in 2019. With several large turbo options entering the market and port fuel injection options ready to go 1000+ wheel horsepower is going to become commonplace.
At quadruple digit levels of output block integrity becomes a concern. That is where RK Autowerks comes in with their sleeved S63, S63TU, and N63TU engine blocks.
How much money? $18,500. No, not cheap and a core exchange is required.
If you want to make big power you are eventually going to have to address the block.
